Quotes by Mother Teresa
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars,the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
.
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work. Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go.
 
Let us more and more insist on raising funds of love, of kindness, of understanding, of peace. Money will come if we seek first the Kingdom of God - the rest will be given. Mother Teresa. Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own. .

I love those who can smile in trouble, who can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. 'Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but they whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves their conduct, will pursue their principles unto death.
water is the driving force of all nature.Life is pretty simple. You do some stuff most fails. Someworks. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.He who loves practice without theory is like the sailor who boards ship without a rudder and compass and never knows where he may cast.
